Look carefully... octopuses have the ability to change both their color and texture to camouflage in their environment, which makes them really good at hiding.

CityPASS will take you places in Boston.

Experience the best of Boston with CityPASS, an easy-to-use ticket booklet that gives you admission to a hand-picked collection of Boston’s most iconic attractions, all at a great savings. Because CityPASS is valid for 9 consecutive days starting with the day of first use, there’s no need to rush—so you can focus on having fun. Plus you’ll skip many ticket lines, giving you time to see and do more in this modern city with colonial roots.

The CityPASS made site seeing so simple. We loved not having to wait in long lines for tickets and the locations on the CityPASS were kids approved. The passes were well worth the investment!

Tasked by my wife to plan a 3-day weekend in Boston, CityPASS was the perfect choice to save us money and see the sights.

So easy. You save so much money. There are even directions to each place in the CityPASS. You can skip some of the lines, not all, but it still saves so much time. I do recommend this for 3-day trips or more since there is just so much to see. Also, this is great for couples as well as families with children

We took a 3-day whirlwind tour of Boston Museums and the aquarium. The Boston CityPASS almost completely eliminated any lines for us, and it was extremely easy to use. I will definitely consider using CityPASS when we travel to other cities.

I spent three days in Boston in mid December with my girlfriend and thankfully, she got us onto a CityPASS. I had no idea they even existed and in hindsight we saved ourselves the equivalent of a whole night's accommodation!

Great ValueWe saved a huge chunk of change buying the CityPass. You get to see the same attractions at half the door price and since you already have your pass you skip the ticket booth!!

Great trip, more attractions should be addedDefinitely worth getting the CityPass for Boston. I chose the Boston Harbour Cruise Tour for the citypass voucher and then paid for the Harvard Natural Museum of History which costs much less in value compared to the cruise tour and understandably so. I recommend also visiting other museums that were not included in the Citypass like the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. For a short trip the Citypass is a good choice but wish it included more tourist attractions that Boston has to offer.

Get It.

Getting a Boston CityPASS ticket booklet is simple. No matter how, where or when you buy, you’ll see the same huge savings and get the same price.

When you buy online, choose between receiving a voucher that you can print or having our customer care team lovingly pack and ship booklets to you. Easy as pie.

Vouchers couldn’t be easier to use – just bring your printed voucher to the first attraction you visit, and they’ll redeem it for your CityPASS ticket booklet. Just note that you may run into a line when redeeming your voucher during peak times. And, it’s always a good idea to bring your ID (attractions may ask for it).

If you’d like to have your booklets shipped to you, we ship to the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and UK. We can also ship directly to your hotel in the US and Canada.

You can also buy once you get to the city. It’s simple – just make the purchase at the first attraction you visit. The team there will know just what to do to get you in as quickly as possible. Piece of cake.

Use It.

Using Boston CityPASS is easy. Simply show up at the attractions with your booklets or voucher. The pros at each place will know just what to do.

Once you have your booklets, your party can split up and visit the attractions in any order you wish. And your Boston CityPASS booklets are good for nine (9) consecutive days starting with the first day of use, so there’s no need to rush through the attractions; you can see them at your own pace. A CityPASS booklet you buy today expires February 28, 2019. A voucher you buy today must be exchanged for a booklet within 6 months of purchase.

With CityPASS, you won't need to pay extra fees at the gate; everything specified in your CityPASS admission is included at no additional cost.

CityPASS perk alert: You’ll get to skip many ticket lines with CityPASS. Look at the tickets in the booklet for entry instructions at each attraction, and note that some attractions may require you to exchange your CityPASS ticket for an attraction ticket.

You’ll see there are several "option tickets" in the booklet that allow you to choose one or the other attraction. There’s no need to decide upfront which you want to see – choose when you get there. If you want to see both, many of our option ticket attractions offer admission discounts (see the coupons in the back of your ticket booklet).

The tickets in your booklet are actual admission tickets good for one visit (unless otherwise noted). You’ll want to leave them in place for the pros at the attractions to tear out. If tickets are removed, they’ll be considered invalid. Sorry, but rules are rules.

Love It.

You’ll love CityPASS. We’ve hand-picked the top attractions for you, so you don’t need to spend time researching. And with CityPASS, you’ll save up to 43% over regular admission prices.

Because your Boston CityPASS booklets are good for nine (9) days, you can visit the attractions at your own pace—see several attractions in one day, or spread them out over your whole trip. You’ll be able to fully experience the attractions and still have plenty of time to explore the city.

And speaking of exploring the city, don’t miss the coupons in the back of your CityPASS booklet for great savings on things like shopping, dining, entertainment and transportation, plus discounts at many of the attraction shops for unique souvenirs and gifts.

Between our booklets and our online Plan Your Visit pages, we’ve got you covered with insider tips, the best days and ways to see the attractions, maps and more, so you can get the most out of your trip.

Finally, we have a favor to ask. If you love your experience with CityPASS, will you share it with your friends and family? Tell them what a great time you had, or post about it on social media. Share your pics with the hashtag #citypass on Instagram or Twitter and you could win 4 CityPASS booklets to the city of your choosing.

Spend less money, do more enjoying.

With the money you save using CityPASS, you’ll have extra cash to do more shopping, taste the local cuisine, and get out on the town. You’re free to see and do more.

Spend less time researching, more time connecting.

No need to bury yourself in brochures and online travel guides. Whether you’re traveling solo or in a group, you’ll have more time to enjoy the experience with CityPASS. Don’t overcomplicate it – stick with the best things, and you can't go wrong.

Spend less "meh" time, way more "wow" time.

Your vacation time is precious. CityPASS includes only the most iconic attractions. Experience the best the city has to offer. Wow is right.

Spend less time rushing, more time experiencing.

Don't just grab a quick selfie and rush off to the next place. You have up to nine days to use your CityPASS. So take your time, immerse yourself, enjoy.

Spend less time in lines, more time feeling VIP.

When you use CityPASS, you'll skate past many main ticket lines and head straight for the good stuff. Feeling like a rock star? Check.
